Eagles chat with Zach Berman

3rd & 7 37yd

Thank you for joining the weekly chat. Let's get right to your questions...

Who do you see as a viable option for the Eagles to sign or trade for at WR?

by 215doughboy 9/18/2018 4:05:20 PM
Hard to say who they can trade for, because I don't know who teams are looking to move. On the free agent market, someone like Jeremy Maclin has a background in the system. But the question with Maclin is obviously his health and what he has left.

when do you think jeffrey will return...and shouldnt they add a receiver so wents aint stranded lol

by bob 9/18/2018 4:06:54 PM
I think Jeffery is back by Week 4 or 5. And yes, WR is a problem. To the previous question, if DeVante Parker is available, he's a player I'd look at on the market.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:07:47 PM
With the reciever problems, any chance the Eagles consider signing Dez Bryant?

by Larr 9/18/2018 4:08:10 PM
I don't know if Dez Bryant is the way they'd go when you consider money. But he's certainly accomplished.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:08:29 PM
Just saw Josh Adams is getting promoted. Bad news for Ajayi?

by bdbd20 9/18/2018 4:08:31 PM
Saw the report, I'm in the chat so I haven't gotten information on it yet. But yes, bad news for Ajayi.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:08:53 PM
how long a leash do you think jake elliott has? I see people refer to him as a "clutch kicker" but I don't even know what that means. If he can't make second quarter kicks inside 45 yards, he won't get many chances to hit a 60 yarder at the end of the game?

by Greg 9/18/2018 4:09:16 PM
He built some equity with the season he had last year, but that was a bad miss on Sunday. He has a long leash, but it's no doubt worth watching.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:10:00 PM
Do you think Golden Tate is a trade target for the Eagles?

by Gillies 9/18/2018 4:10:08 PM
Are the Lions trading Tate? Not sure who is going to be moved in Week 3.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:10:19 PM
Do we have an update on Jason Peters?

by J10g 9/18/2018 4:15:19 PM
He said he was fine after the game. A quad strain. Took himself out to be safe.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:15:41 PM
A name I haven't heard mentioned is Kevin White. Chi declined his 5th year option, so he's a FA at the end of the year. Also not playing much. Your thoughts?

by bdbd20 9/18/2018 4:16:01 PM
Hasn't done anything in his career, so really going on potential there.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:16:14 PM
Has the corresponding move for Adams been made yet? What do you think it will be, if not.

by Ted 9/18/2018 4:16:17 PM
Not yet. Unless they're moving on from Smallwood or Warmack, I'm curious to see what that move is.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:16:52 PM
Are you concerned about Dallas Goedert, given the amount of time that Perkins got over him on Sunday?

by Conor 9/18/2018 4:16:53 PM
No, I'm not. I think Goedert is more of an in-line player right now.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:17:06 PM
Maybe it's the lack of skill players they have on offense right now, but it was hard for me to watch the Tampa game and not think about how the eagles left OJ Howard on the board to draft Barnett, who has been fine but not great. I know you were a Barnett guy, but would you trade Barnett for Howard straight up right now?

by Greg 9/18/2018 4:17:26 PM
No, I would not. Barnett is going to be a productive pass rusher. Pass rushers are gold in this league. Did you watch the game last night?

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:17:47 PM
I'm not sure if this is exactly how this works, but I know our pass rushers get a lot of pressure on opposing QBs, which leads them to throw the ball away super quick (i.e. Eli and Fitz). And I alos know our corners play a lot of off-coverage, Wouldn't playing press give our Dline more time to get to the QB and less of an opportunity for the QB to get to his recievers quickly?

by Teddy B 9/18/2018 4:18:00 PM
Yes, in theory. But usually, Eagles are playing off coverage to keep the WR in front of them. Of course, when they give up the deep ball, it doesn't work.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:18:33 PM
Antonio Brown didn't show up for work today. What would it take to get him?

by Matt 9/18/2018 4:20:02 PM
Too much is my guess. And are the Steelers willing to move him?

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:20:15 PM
I wonder if Braxton Miller is in the plans for later in the year. Can open up a lot of trick plays.

by bdbd20 9/18/2018 4:20:18 PM
Perhaps. At some point, Eagles need to determine what DeAndre Carter offers.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:20:35 PM
Have you seen Ajayi in the locker room? Just curious as to his mood with the back issue.

by bdbd20 9/18/2018 4:23:23 PM
Saw him after the game, he needed to get treatment. I'll be back in there today.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:23:35 PM
It seems we had similar early season secondary issues last year (Giants, Chargers, etc). Do you think it's just something that teams just have to go through?

by bdbd20 9/18/2018 4:25:05 PM
I think this was one game. I wouldn't be overly concerned. The Falcons didn't do this to them.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:25:24 PM
what single player's season-ending injury would be the most devastating to this team? For me, it's Cox.

by Conor 9/18/2018 4:25:25 PM
Cox or Lane Johnson.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:25:30 PM
is smallwood done as an eagle?

by bob 9/18/2018 4:28:38 PM
Trying to find out. My guess is Eagles need the RB depth.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:28:47 PM
Assuming no WR move this week, do they keep Ags on the outside, or does he move back to the slot with Gibson/Aiken getting more reps there?

by bdbd20 9/18/2018 4:28:53 PM
Good question. Need to see what roster they have going into the week. I'd guess they would move Agholor around depending on the matchup and personnel. Will see time in both spots.

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:29:22 PM
Quiet out there -- any more questions?

by Zach Berman 9/18/2018 4:46:36 PM
Is Corey Coleman a possibility at WR?

by Ed 9/18/2018 4:48:31 PM
